Bill O’Reilly Makes Bold Statement About President Obama And Islam

On Wednesday night’s edition of the Fox News program The O’Reilly Factor, host Bill O’Reilly said he believes President Obama has “deep emotional ties to Islam,” which he feels is putting the country in danger.

Obama and Islam was the subject of O’Reilly’s “Talking Points” segment. He began by saying, “Many Americans, including this one, believe Barack Obama’s emotional attachment to the Muslim world has hurt the USA. There is no question the Obama administration’s greatest failure is allowing the Islamic terror group ISIS to run wild, murdering thousands of innocent people all over the world, including many Muslims. … President Obama, as we all know, will not even use the words Islamic terrorism.”

O’Reilly continued by giving his view of why Obama “does not define the terror issue clearly.”

“President Obama is a very unique cultural figure,” Mendell said. “He has ties to various worlds. He has ties in the African-American world. He has ties to Kansas, where his mother was born. He himself is a devout Christian.”

The host responded, “Whoa, whoa, whoa, devout Christian? He doesn’t go to church on a regular basis. How did you arrive at that assessment? … I believe he’s a Christian. I’m not one of these guys who says he’s a Muslim. But I don’t think he’s a devout Christian.”

Mendell said that while Obama was on the campaign trail, “he had the Holy Bible sitting in the door compartment of his vehicle, and he would refer to it consistently. He and Michelle would attend services of, you can go back to Jeremiah Wright if you want …”

The biographer said that Obama “has given extensive interviews about his beliefs in Christianity.” O’Reilly said that while that may be true, he believes actions speak louder than words.

“What you say and what you do are not necessarily the same thing,” he said. “I base my analysis on the fact that in my opinion — and I could be wrong, but I’m not — President Obama’s sympathetic treatment of Muslims put the country in danger because he has not elevated the risks that we have to the level it should be. And he allowed ISIS to be created because of his foolish decision to withdraw troops in Iraq and to pretty much run wild for five years. So another president, angry about the jihad, would not have done that. Am I wrong?”

Mendell tried to make the argument that Obama is simply trying to be understanding of all cultures, but O’Reilly wasn’t having any of it, saying, “Is that good for a commander in chief to be very sympathetic to all cultures and all beliefs when thousands of people are being murdered? … He’s the commander in chief of the United States, and his main charge is to protect us. It’s not his main charge as to be touchy-feely to all different cultures.”
